Gloria Steinem on Marilyn

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Megan's appearance on the 4th in Washington, D.C. opens the show. Love the 1st paragraph in the article which like the author describes exactly how I feel when I think of season 1.

Can you believe Uma was nominated? And no other actors?

Smash -- Series Discussion#2261

Posted: 7/19/12 at 10:12am

I believe it. Hopefully if they step up the writing more will get noticed next year. The only one that stood a chance, a long shot of a chance it was, was Debra Messing.

I agree, I love Debra's character. Uma I think got the nom the way most nominees do - voters see the name and think 'well, it's a star, she must have been great.' Voters are so complacent (see all Modern Family actors getting nominated every time now. Ho hum.)

From the promo that NBC just released it seems to be coming back in the fall, otherwise it is a very mis leading NBC fall promo.

I was up in NYC, July 26-29, and I saw posters informing residents that the production would be in the area and equipment where they were shooting "Smash." Unfortunately, I didn't see any actual shooting. I did run into Christian Borle as we were both heading to the 50th/Broadway subway station. I got a little star struck and blurted out, "I really enjoy Glee, er, I mean Smash." He said, "It's fine. I like Glee, too." So, that was fun.

Sean Hayes has landed a multi-episode arc on "SMASH". I wonder if his character's new musical is the rival musical that was previously mentioned?
